fuel, but gives one credit for every 450 gallons of pure biodiesel
used in biodiesel blends. |

Currently, there are no ethanol fueling stations in California.
To bring ethanol to California, visit the National Ethanol
Vehicle Coalition Website to find out how you can help get
ethanol fueling stations in California. http://www.e85refuel.com
